RBC Fixed Income Notes
RBC Capital Markets' global Structured Rates Group provides fixed income solutions for investors
looking to enhance yield, express a particular view on interest rates or diversify and/or hedge existing
investment portfolios.
Features of Fixed Income Notes
Principal Protection at Maturity – 100% of the initial investment
is returned to the investor at maturity or upon early redemption by
the Issuer. Principal Protected Notes issued by Royal Bank of Canada
(RBC) are senior deposit notes of the bank which rank equally with
RBC GICs and other senior debt of the bank.
Enhanced Returns – In exchange for expressing a particular view
on interest rates or owning a note with an uncertain maturity date,
investors can potentially earn above market returns relative to more
traditional fixed income investments such as bonds and GICs.
Diversification – The addition of certain note structures that have
a low correlation with traditional fixed income investments can
increase diversification or allow investors to hedge existing positions
in an investment portfolio
Customization – Notes can be tailored to express a view on a
particular term or shape of the yield curve. This customization allows
investors to either take an outright view for yield enhancement or
provide a way to hedge existing interest rate exposure.
Potential Tax Efficient Returns – Through a Non Protected Return
of Capital Security, investors can potentially earn tax efficient
returns when investing in a basket of bonds.
